David Douglas Duncan

David Douglas Duncan... Lance Cpl. Ernest Delgado. "...Battle fatigue set in long ago for most the men [at Khe Sanh]...Lance Cpl. Ernest Delgado...is from Los Angeles and has been checking the months off on his helmet. [February 1968.]" Life (Asia edition). 18 Mar. 1968. p. 17. From David Douglas Duncan. "...In October 1996, world-famous photographer and author David Douglas Duncan donated his archive to the Harry Ransom Center. From the beginning, Duncan envisioned his archive as an active collection, a tool for scholarship and learning, not merely a body of exhibition photographs waiting for display. This web portal serves as an introduction to Duncan, his imagery, publications and exhibitions, and the valuable resources to be found in all his collected materials. A gallery of over 600 images serves as a more comprehensive exposition of Duncan's vision, career and unique spirit."
